12 TIGER RESERVES · EST. 2018
Skip the crowds of the north. The forests of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra hold the highest tiger densities on earth — and we handle every permit, transfer and guide so all you do is watch.
WHO WE ARE
JungleViibes is a Central-India specialist run by the guides and trackers who grew up around these forests. We don’t sell every destination in the country — we know six reserves deeply, work only with locally owned lodges, and cap our groups so the forest never feels crowded.
That focus is the whole point: better sightings, lighter footprints, and a trip planned by people who’ll be in the gypsy with you at dawn.

Can't find the answer to your question? Send us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
Send emailYes — core-zone permits are capped per gate and sell out weeks ahead in peak season (October to June). We hold and book every permit for you as part of any package, including the exact gate and zone, so you never queue or gamble on availability at the gate.
That’s the trip we run most. Pench, Kanha and Tadoba all connect cleanly onto a Delhi–Agra–Jaipur itinerary by short flight or train, and our Golden Triangle combo packages are built specifically to slot real tiger country onto the monuments circuit.
No ethical operator guarantees a sighting, but Central India has the highest tiger densities in the country. Across a typical 4–6 safari trip in Bandhavgarh, Tadoba or Kanha, the large majority of our guests have at least one clear tiger sighting — and plenty more besides.
Completely. Every drive is in a shared or private open gypsy with a licensed naturalist who speaks English, briefs you on etiquette, and pitches the day to your pace. We run gentle itineraries for families and can arrange accessible vehicles on request.
We cap group sizes, work only with buffer-zone communities and locally owned lodges, offset vehicle emissions, and route a share of every booking into anti-poaching and habitat funds. Responsible travel isn’t a badge for us — it’s the reason the forest is still here to visit.
Neutral-colored clothing (khakis, greens, browns) is highly recommended. Early mornings from November to February can be freezing in open vehicles, so pack warm layers (fleeces, jackets, beanies). A dust mask/scarf, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a good camera or binoculars are also essential.
